I've stumbled across a few and checked them out, out of curiosity. In the interest of safety and good taste I will not grant them advertisement by naming them here.
Now, I'm not saying this applies to ALL vendors not associated with ECF, but in my experience those who aren't on this forum are typically engaged in one or more questionable practices like spouting unfounded medical claims, offering dangerously high nicotine level juice, and I've seen at least one case of thinly veiled drug references and what they called, "experimental juice, for experimenting". In other words, stuff that puts the entire vaping community's safety and image at risk. ECF Suppliers are held to a higher standard they must agree to in order to be here. I'm sure there are many "good" vendors out there who aren't here yet, but I can be confident in the integrity of all those vendors who are here. For me, ECF is kind of like the Good Housekeeping Seal. Because of this higher standard I have no qualms recommending ECF to anyone who wants to know more.

Just to clarify, we're talking about ECF "Registered Suppliers" rather than only "Forum Suppliers", right? That is, including those that post in the E Cigarette Suppliers Forum. A vendor does not need to have their own forum on ECF to be good. Smaller and/or newer suppliers may not be able to afford paying for that level of exposure. For example, Backwoods Brew is widely regarded here on ECF as being a great e-liquid supplier, but does not have its own forum ... and many of those who now are "Forum" Suppliers made their rep before acquiring that status.
With that caveat, I do agree with BenJammin.

All of the suppliers I deal with are associated with ECF. I've not run across a bad one it, so I won't be looking elsewhere.
The ones that are out there that are not a part of this forum don't interest me, and the only ones I will purchase from are part of this community, ECF has set the standard in my book and if there not a part of this standard here @ ECF they wont be getting my business period nor do I even need to know about them, period.!
